Dreams are our own space, our own time, and can be made true. I have been suffering from an injured back since 1999. Positive thinking with my focus on my well being has made  a difference in my physical therapy along with taking the time to dream or day dream about being whole. First it is for me and then for my loved ones and friends. Imagery works, a positive attitude, and having a dream. I hope that when you read this Crystal Blog you'll allow yourself some time to dream!

Take time to reflect on the first 6 months, relax, and rejoice life. Kennebunkport , Maine has been a very busy coastal village with President Bush and President Putin gathering  for a hopeful meeting of the minds. Instead of watching the sea gulls, smelling the salt air and roses, and listening to the waves, I found myself caught up in watching protesters, lstening to black hawks soar over the treetops, and smelling the salt air with secret service cruising the shore. It will be a great 4th now that I can reflect, relax, and rejoice  life.

This was an email that was sent to me from a friend about not purchasing gas on May 15th....maybe some of you have received the same email. Little did I know that I was spamming by sending out this email. I have had to pay the price of not downloading my folders in email. I have been denied access into my account and have had to start over. I'm sharing this with you because I would feel terrible if you did something innocently and someone filed a spam complaint on you. Be careful of what you send and who you send it to. I am innocent and had no malicious intentions. Perhaps a warning is more suitable if only they had looked at my history to see that I have never sent out a mass email in the past ...except for open houses,  price reductions etc..Always ready to learn and grow!

My clients 15 year old ...deaf....dog escaped while a showing occurred. A screen door was ajar and the dog walked out to the yard. I realized that Sparky was not around, so I  immediately ran outside to the yard and there was Sparky. Well, this cute pooch wanted to take a run! We ran down a very busy street and finally was captured by a police officer who was kind to stop when he saw a crazy lady running barefoot down the sidewalk ...crying and yelling to the deaf dog. I recently lost  my Oliver in my arms to a heart attack. This pooch almost gave me one. Sparky is fine..I went back later that day and of course I'm still shaking with tired muscles...there is Sparky sleeping and dreaming of her fun out in the sun.Please keep your pets in a crate, remove them from the property, or have a pet sitter for the showings.

Real estate agents are not allowed to give legal advice...we are not attorneys. So why wouldn't you want someone looking out for your best interest where there are so many legal issues involved in your purchase or sale. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!

DOESN'T IT MAKE SENSE TO HAVE THE SELLERS INTIAL AND THE BUYERS INTIAL THE 4 PAGES. WHY? OKAY. THESE ARE FACTS THAT WE HAVE  TO GIVE EACH BUYER IN REGARDS TO HOME INSPECTIONS. IF BOTH PARTIES SIGN THEM.... THEN WE HAVE A RECORD THAT IT WAS ACKNOWLEDGED. IF YOU HAD TO PRODUCE THESE DOCUMENTS AND THE SELLER TRYS TO SAY YOU NEVER INFORMED THE BUYER ABOUT HOME INSPECTIONS OR THE BUYER SAYS THE SAME. BINGO!  YOU HAVE THEM SIGNED IN YOUR FILE. I HOPE YOU FIND THIS USEFUL AND LOOK FORWARD TO ANY COMMENTS.

Check with your local Registry of Deeds.  If a deed is transfered or a name is added to the deed you may no longer have The Homestead Act.  You can also check with your local attorney.
